Hot Cocoa HERE - TSOT 656

Here is my Design Team card for Try a Sketch On Tuesday #656  and using the sketch for a Christmas Card at Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #34 "Fantasy" with a coffee theme.  The sketch shouted out to me that it needed a lot of complementary patterned papers and a Winter Scene.  



Left-side of card:  The gnomes were fussy-cut from one of the patterned papers and then adhered with 3D thin foam tape to a scene... sky from another patterned paper and white cardstock used for snowbanks and then bordered with Sapphire cardstock. 

A sticker was used for the sentiment offering "hot cocoa here" on a Winter Day, with pot of chocolate in the gnomes hand for Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge requirement. 

Right-side of card:  The plaid coordinating patterned paper was bordered with Sapphire cardstock and then positioning a snowflake zip strick alternating the patterns as in the sketch. The final two circles were added using a snowflake die cut using white cardstock.      

On the inside of the card base I added a border of one of the papers used on the front of the card.

Suzanne, your gnome card is so cute with its snowy winter theme tied in with hot cocoa! I really like how you included the pattern paper on the inside as well... it brings the whole card together so beautifully!!! -Donna

Gorgeous patterned paper, Sue! So elegant and then such fun to add the gnomes as they enjoy cocoa. The snowflakes are a perfect addition, too.
